ARIES/NT: A Recovery Method Based on Write-Ahead Logging for Nested Transactions

Summary: ARIES/NT extends WAL-based recovery to nested transactions; subtransaction rollbacks, lock inheritance, and rich operation logging. General nested model; supports distributed architectures and concurrent ancestor-descendant execution; extension of ARIES. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
